AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) has waned that the Palestinians with treatable conditions in Gaza cannot be cured amid the Israeli regime’s campaign of genocide.
“There are so many people dying in Gaza from things that can be treated, people can be saved, but we do not have the means to do this for them. We do not have the means to operate to our best ability,” UNRWA spokesperson Louise Wateridge said on Tuesday.
Wateridge said Israel’s latest evacuation orders in Gaza have forced UN staff over the past 48 hours to move and “reconfigure operations.”
She, however, said UN operations have not stopped despite the huge challenges created by the Israeli forces.
“It is nothing short of a struggle to provide what people need here because we don’t have enough aid. We don’t have enough supplies coming in; we don’t have enough access to distribute to people.”
Israel issued five new evacuation orders for Gaza neighborhoods within six days last week.
UNRWA earlier said nine out of 10 people across Gaza had been “forcibly displaced.” The agency says life is a “never-ending tragedy” for the Palestinians in Gaza.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) recently warned that Israel’s frequent evacuation orders have led to waves of displacement, overcrowding, insecurity, and collapsing infrastructure.
Gaza’s civil defense on Tuesday accused Israel of systematically displacing civilians through violent means, including firing guns, as people flee the newly declared red zones.
The policy, the civil defense says, has killed or wounded hundreds of Palestinians trying to reach safety and blocked emergency responders from reaching the victims.
A vast majority of the Palestinian population in Gaza has been driven from homes, fleeing multiple times across the territory.
